Naked Fish Tacos
TOTAL TIME: Prep/Total Time: 25 min.
YIELD: 2 servings.
This is one of my husband's all-time favorite meals. I've even converted some friends to fish after eating this. I serve it with fresh melon when it's in season to balance the subtle heat of the cabbage mixture. —Elizabeth Bramkamp, Gig Harbor, Washington
